Until our time, only part of the archs are actually preserved, baptizing fonts and walls. In ancient times, this construction was one Orthodox abode located on the territory of Abkhazia.
For his decoration, marble was specially brought from Turkey. Unfortunately, during the Turkish invasions, which took place in the XVI century, this temple was thoroughly injured.
